Thanks againRandy

Hey Randy

No problem and absolutely no misunderstanding on the not running comment: I read it as you intended. And I really appreciate the great compliment in that: for someone to call a slot car that I (at least partly....) built to be static display worthy is a great, great treat for me: thank you!

I only wrote about the running abilities to give an idea of how nice a runner it is: that would make it hard for me NOT to keep on running it! I must say that when I ran it I had not done the decoration yet so it was not much of a risk. Now I may be a bit more hesitant.... But I really do not go in for shelf queens so I suppose I will continue running it, albeit a bit more carefully perhaps. I still have to put some Future over the decals at least for some protection. I am just hoping I do not mess up the great paint finish that the model came with when I put on the Future....
